Buyer's beware:

Someone or company bought these.Might want to be careful of deals that seems too good to be true..............

I wonder what the final bid was? I hope it was a WHOLE lot more. At the bid mentioned, the price worked out to about $370 per trailer. If the trailers went for anywhere near that price, the Govt employees involved should have been canned on the spot. Remember folks, those are our tax dollars!

Wasn't there a problem with people getting sick from chemicals in FEMA trailers? If you notice they mention getting them checked.

Hey Matt,
Some of them may be your tax dollars and some of them may be my tax dollars too.
The Canadian Government donated 3500 rv units and 8000 Atco trailers to the US to help house the victims of the Katrina hurricane.
There was a lot of controversy as to why Canada should do this, as at the time the US Government had barely lifted a finger to help there own people while at the same time the Bush Administration was spending 52 million dollars a day on their campaign in Iraq.
Here's a little known fact; The North Shore Search and Rescue Team, out of West Vancouver B.C. was the first organized rescue team with boots on the ground in New Orleans, after Katrina hit.

I'm quite proud of that.

At least part of that was because the trailers were not allowed to sit after manufacture to let the solvents and glues completely set and gas off. The chemicals were not something that isn't part of the normal production of the trailers, but usually there are several months between manufacture and people actually moving in. In this case they were in them in a matter of days, and none of that final curing and stuff had not completed leaving those chemicals floating around. Of course you will never hear that as it looks better to make them seem like chemical death traps that were given to the largely black evacuees because everyone is so racist. That sells news spots.
